And Considered of the King's Carriage upon the Saturday before, and of all that then passed; and fully approved what the Lord Precedent had done in the managing the business of that day, as agreeing to their sense: And perceiving what the King aimed at, viz. To bring in question (if he could) the juisdiction of the Court, and the Authority thereof, whereby they sat; And considering, that in the interim he had not acknowledged them in any sort to be a Court, or his judges; and through their sides intended to wound (if he might be permitted) the Supreme Authority of the Commons of England in their Representatives, the Commons assembled in Parliament. After advice with their Council learned in both laws, and mature deliberation had of the matter, they Resolved. That the King should not be suffered to argue the Courts jurisdiction, or that which constituted them a Court, of which debate they had not proper cognizance, nor could they, being a derivative judicature of that Supreme Court which made them judges, and from which there was no appeal. And did therefore order and direct, viz. Ordered, That in case the King shall again offer to dispute the Authority of the Court, the Lord President do let him know, that the Court had taken into consideration his demands of the last day; and that he ought to rest satisfied with this Answer, That the Commons of England assembled in Parliament have constituted the Court, whose power may not, nor should be permitted to be disputed by him. That in case he shall refuse to answer, or acknowledge the Court, the Lord President do let him know, that the Court will take it as a contumacy, and that it shall be so Recorded. That in case heshall offer with a saving notwithstanding of his pretended Prerogative above the juridiction of the Court; the Lord President do let him know, that the Lord Precedent does in the name of the Court refuse his Protests, and requires his positive Answer whether he will own the Court, or not? That in case the King shall demand a Copy of the Charge, that then he shall declare his intention to Answer, and that declaring such his intention; a Copy be granted unto him. That in case the King shall still persist in his contempt, the Lord President do give command to the Clerk to demand of the King in the name of the Court, in these words following, viz. Charles Stuart, King of England, you are accused in behalf of the People of England of divers high Crimes and Treasons, which Charge hath been read unto you. The Court requires you to give a Positive Answer, to confess or deny the Charge, having determined, that you ought to answer the same.
